Default Magic Control

After the first day of trading this EA on my demo account, I just tried to do an analysis on the magic numbers that the EA uses.

It's a mess. The EA uses the same magic on different pairs. It sometimes changes the magic to a completely different number that has no relationship to the former number (not in a range).

There is a 'Comment' parameter that can be used but at least one pair/strategy (GBPUSD Hedge) does not include the comment.

So, I will have to modify MT4Analysis to add a change magic page so that I can manually change the magic number on the closed trades after the fact (that is going to be a ton of extra work with all the trades that this EA generates )

I certainly hope that the developers of Primeval-EA wake up and realize that control of the magic number (even inside a range like Goldmine does) is essential to a good EA.

P.S. I just emailed the support folks about my suggestion as there is no place on their forum to add my suggestion.
